St Andrew’s - The Heart of Cowichan Station
A project many years in the making, The Heart of Cowichan Station has finally found its home in St. Andrew’s Church
St. Andrew’s Church Committee
The Church committee has been working closely with the diocese to finalize the transfer of the title for property, all the while dreaming of restoring the church to its former glory and bringing it back into service as the heart of Cowichan Station.
Marking Our History
The original St. Andrew’s Church committee was formed in Cowichan Station in 1905. The committee held dances and concerts to raise money to build the community a church, and local people donated their time and skills to begin building. The land was donated by Arthur Parry and Ada Cook, the stone was donated by the Koksilah Quarry Co and the bell was donated by crewmen of the E&N Railroad. The new church was consecrated on February 8, 1906
The building was enlarged in 1912 to accommodate the growing community, and it was expanded again with construction of the church hall in 1956 and the kitchen in 1963.
The diocese made the decision to close the church in 2010.
